Every year we eagerly await Bob McKenzie’s final consolidated draft ranking for TSN.
It’s not that this list is the definitive opinion on which draft pick is better than the other — it’s something else entirely, and that’s why it’s interesting. Because it’s a collated list collected from a range of expert opinion on draft picks, it takes expert opinion and transforms it into the closest thing each year to a predictor of where players will actually be drafted.
If you’ve ever followed a draft closely, there is a point sometime in the first round, where the slight disarray of order players are actually taken in versus the TSN ranking order is balanced and there’s no one undrafted on the list ranked higher than the player about to be taken.
